Marsmobil – (Why Don’t You Take) The Other Side

Releasedate: 21-05-2010; Label: Compost Records
By: Nina Mende

The Italian Roberto Di Goia moved to Munich in the age of 19 where he became known as a Jazz keyboarder of a renown jazz band. Besides that he worked with German musicians such as Udo Lindenberg and Helge Schneider. But Jazz music was too narrow for Roberto so he started Marsmobil. He released his debut “Strange World”, an album telling Roberto’s roots. With his following albums he moved away from jazz. Another step forward was forming a band out of the solo project. Further did Roberto get a female co-vocalist for Marsmobil. This is now their fourth album called “(Why Don’t You Take) The Other Side”.

Marsmobil still has some jazz elements in the music but all in all the sound is very chilled out and poppy. With a soft voice Roberto and Martine lead you through these 16 songs. “Crazy Colored Light” even includes reggae rapping in between the sweet vocals. “(Why Don’t You Take) The Other Side” is a very relaxing album that takes all the stress and trouble away from you. Marsmobil put some interesting arrangements on this album. A one of a kind piece of art for music, something you should definitely check out.
